7.Engage the next available spring-cover lock slot with the locking lug, and hold the spring lock cover tightly against the side of the headstock. See Figure 21.

8.Snug the cover nut against the spring cover just until the nut stops, and then back-off the nut approximately 1⁄3 turn, or just enough so there is no binding anywhere along complete spindle travel.

9.Hold the cover nut and tighten the jam nut against the cover nut. See Figure 21.

Quill-Shaft Screw

While you may never have to adjust the quill- shaft screw, you should understand its function and know how to adjust it should you ever need to remove the quill for cleaning. This screw prevents the quill from rotating during drilling and sanding procedures, and if adjusted incorrectly, the quill may have lash or bind.

UNPLUG your machine during all assembly, adjustments, and mainte-

nance procedures. Otherwise serious person- al injury may occur!

To adjust the quill-shaft screw, do these steps:

1.Unplug the drill press.

2.Clean and lubricate the quill shaft with a thin coat of light oil, and make sure the quill travels freely. See Figure 22.

3.Loosen the jam nut. See Figure 23.

4.Turn the quill-shaft screw clockwise or counterclockwise to establish free, unbind- ing travel while moving the quill up and down through its entire range of travel.

5.When the quill-shaft screw is screwed inward against the quill as far as the screw can go without binding the quill, hold the screw and tighten the jam nut.

6.Recheck for quill binding and looseness while moving the quill up and down

through its entire range of travel and

 

re-adjust as required.
